SaraJ. Wallace, 46 was called home to the Lord following an automobile accident. Sara was born on July 7, 1970 at the Kaukauna Hospital to Dennis and Phyllis (Polhman) Verhyen and she grew up in Appleton. She worked at Theda Care Medical Center in Appleton. On June 20, 1992 she was united in marriage to Jim Wallace, her only love, and together they raised two wonderful children. As a Mother she never missed an event of her children, nieces, and nephews. Those times will always be remembered. Sara had a heart of gold and always put everyone's needs before her own. She delighted in the simple things in life. As a wonderful wife, mother and daughter, providing for her family in the kitchen was her greatest joy. Sara was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church where she taught religious education for 13 years, joined this year by her daughter Nicole as her co-teacher. She planted the seed of God's word and hoped it would grow in everyone she met. Sara's positive attitude and wonderful outlook will be greatly missed. Sara is survived by her husband Jim, her children; Nicole (Justin) Micheels, Matthew Wallace, her parents, Dennis and Phyllis Verhyen, her siblings; Tina Hinze, Laura (Jeff) Vanstrom, Joe (Debbie) Verhyen, nieces and nephews; Alissa (Danny) Brittany, Katie, Ashwin (Amy), Kendra, Jordon, Cole, and Emily, her grandfather, Joe Verhyen, aunts and uncle, Lisa Volkman, Vickie Eberhard, Tim Verhyen, Carol Steffens, and Don Pohlman, other relatives and friends. Sara was preceded in death by her grandparents Orville and Lila Polhman and Verona Verhyen. The funeral liturgy for Sara will be held on Thursday, October 20, 2016 at 6:00 PM at ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH, 410 W. Lawrence St. with Fr. Jim Leary officiating. A time of visitation will be held on Thursday from 3:00 PM until the time of the service at the church. Online condolences may be expressed at www.wichmannfargo.com. A memorial fund will be established in her honor.
